a daughter of palestine mob. shooting about this body was taken through a thousands gather to pay the respect her remains then taken to a state service where the palestinian president honored her vow to seek justice at the international criminal court in my thoughts. today we are here to pay respect to assuring abil ucla, the martyr of palestine, the martyr of jerusalem and the martyr of free speech and the free roll of the symbol of the palestinian women on the symbol of the palestinian journalist. shreed her sacrifice her life to defend its course and the cause of the palestinian pupil . what she did worked for jazeera and was widely known for reporting on the israel

palestine conflict for more than 2 decades. everyone's standing here has its own story with julian, as friends we experienced with this amazing person, you saw innocent little christian and jordan, the to always waited for sitting to tell her story. we're losing today a great story. 10. we've never expected that out for of love. we know she's known. we know she's a star. no, she's famous. but for people to be stuffing the convoy coming from the hospitality throwing roses at her casket. it's hard to put words to what every palestinian is feeling today. she was shot in the head and killed instantly in the occupied west bank on wednesday. her colleague seemed to the right, is she the had a she?

she says the attack on her team was intended to kill you. i knew enough pulling the occupational forces led us to reach that point where they fired on us. i want to tell her that i'm sorry, i couldn't protect you when we were on the fire. i failed to save you is a rose government initially said palestinian fighters were to blame. but that was disputed by witnesses, journalists, and writes group. this is the moment where there's going to be the most outpouring of outrage and grief about the killing of terrain. so if they can cast doubt, if they can muddy waters around the death sharina by possibly getting newspapers in the international fair to suggest that she was killed by a palestinian, they have been successful call the israel says it will, investigator in killing an offer to do it in conjunction with palestinian official, palestinian president said he would not cooperate with israel already

a backup. you refused any joint investigation committee with israel, you authorities, because they have committed such a crime. we don't trust them, and we'll go immediately to the international criminal court in order to find the perpetrators and criminals philosophy. just either media network has described the 51 year old death as blatant murder, making clear it told israel responsible. shitty in the body was then taken from roma law through the columbia jack point to jerusalem, where she was born. ah, on friday there will be a funeral service in jerusalem. there very place. shitty was proud to call home the day abraham l just eda. the occupied west bank, israeli army is reported to be investigating whether one of its soldiers shot sharina blackwell. that's according to the washington post. it says the army is looking into 3 separate incidents connected to her killing,

as well as the wounding of her colleague. initially, israel has said the journalists were likely hit by gunfire from armed palestinians . but eye witnesses reports that contradicts that claim. israeli forces are said to be carrying up ballistic tests on the rifles of several of its members. while the hopi jamila had that them higg i la to this might be a way to make the road for israel to acknowledge it is the reason behind the skilling. yesterday there were trying to get the bullet that is now in the hands of the palestinian side. what a bullet that killed sharina barclay, and i think they have nothing more to say now has no more justifications and they now understand how much international pressure there is. that's why we have seen the statement hello. and these really position is turning in a way video analysis of where serene was killed contradicts israel's original accounts of the shooting. catcher lopez, honda yen, has more or less out of the hog book. shortly after sharina lockley was killed,

the israeli government began circulating this video. it shows an armed palestinian firing his weapon. israel says this shows how the veteran al jazeera correspondent was likely shot by palestinian gunfire and not by its forces. but that's disputed by rights groups. witnesses and journalists who've analyzed the video, israel says this is where the palestinian fighter opened fire. from this point, jerusalem based human rights organization selim says there are too many walls, alleys and buildings, blocking the site where sharin was shot. and gps verification and dozens of video clips shows. this is where is really soldiers were located as a rated a home. and janine, it shows a direct line of fire to where sharon was shot and killed the side is also far from the palestinian resistance whiter. who was about 260 meters away. there is no line of sight between one location and the other. and in fact,

our researcher is taking him a few minutes to walk from one location to the other location. so it is absolutely clear, there is not a question about it. the footage on which day is really governmental based. it's false claim is does not show gun fire. a bout has killed shooting a walk, law and injury. recall it. a witness says is really, forces were not under attack was law. when the journalists arrive, they were surprised because the occupation forces were closing the street with their military vehicles, and then they started shooting at them. a man tried once again to retrieve sharina body. we were not aware at that point that she had been killed. he tried to provide 1st aid to her, so they started shooting at him and the bullets had a tree over his head. the guys who were not throwing stones, nor shooting. there was no form of resistance gonna for me. the european union has called for an independent investigation into her death. and the u. s. envoy to the un has called for sharina killing to be transparently investigated. the

announcement of investigation is one of israel's most a tried and unfortunately successful in tricks and blanket impunity dealers resume provides itself is rosalyn not investigate israel white washers and the investigation is just the 1st or rather the announcement on the investigation is just the 1st stage in this whitewash, oh, many analysts say they're skeptical. justice will follow. israel has a track record of not punishing its soldiers who have committed crimes against palestinians. huh. and it's never child one of its soldiers for the killing of a journalist. katya little piece of the young out is here, washington has called the transparency in any that in, in any investigation into the killing of saline abil aqua, a white house correspondent. kimberly how kit has bull. president biden is said to

host king abdullah of jordan and his son in the oval office on friday. it's an effort to promote stability between is re lease and palestinians in the midst of escalating tensions that includes the killing of journalists, sharina acclaim. here's what the white house press, secretary gen saki had to say. we encourage both parties to do so thoroughly and transparently, and to share their findings, to ensure that all evidence in this case is available and fully assessed. we stand ready to assist either party in any way that we can neither side as ask for our assistance at this time, and such a request would require in order for us to do so. president biden is scheduled to visit israel next month. the details of the trip have not been released and it's unclear of the white house will use the visit to press israel for accountability in the death of serene abu, our clay, francesca albanese as the un special repertoire and human rights in the occupied

palestinian territory. she says the attention surrounding the killing will put pressure on israel to carry out a proper investigation. michael has been for an independent, a sorrow and a transparent investigation. independent means that he's to be carried out the someone who has not the conflict of interest. and it's not about having faith or not, having trusted in these railey investigation accountability system, but the track record of legal proceedings following an incident like these are very poor. so i don't know for the traditional community to make pressure for an intern for an independent or going investigation to take place to access to the or p t, and gather evidence that can be used for, for, for those of the perpetrators to finally be held accountable. he's runs military

investigative system is well known further into the short standards of the process and most of time is regulatory. this issue, initial public statements announcing, dedicating the under examination, but the reality is that most cases do not. we missed korean criminal investigation and details of the decision are not made public despite is lowering the military obligate general to provide reasoning for decisions including his is evolving actual commer. this is not, this is not the case in few exceptional cases, and this would be one of those where the killing or injury was caught on camera or feel and received a high level of public attention to findings and conclusions were made were made public, but would have full load is never justice in the sansa knew what has been the charges are often it's starkly, commensurate, or the news still has here on out his era, back in the talk job, but casual anchors. new prime minister. com,

the public anger will be live in columbia plus shedding light on a mystery at the house of all galaxy. this image could shape our understanding the milky way. ah hello for hot and dusty sums up the weather across the middle east over the next couple of days. not too much cloud showing up. not too much wet weather in the forecast. so we are back to the dry stuff and we got a very cane shamal just blowing down at east side, a saudi arabia for ref, friday, running across here in the kata. and that will produce a little lift. it doesn't sandwich a hazy, sunshine, temperature. do fall back to around 34 celsius, but trust me you don't really want to be out in it. when you read on the strength of that weight, it is going to be pretty unpleasant and temperature picking up around $34.00

is now at a hospital. morgan occupies east jerusalem. a funeral will take place later on friday. and the washington post says, israel's armies investigating whether one of its soldiers shot serene for the past . and present. mcmurry abbas says he'll seek justice for her death at the international criminal course. was not the 1st time the court's been asked to investigate the talking of journalists by israeli forces pull, brennan has more from the hague. after years of wrangling over jurisdiction, the scope of such an investigation, the icpc here in the hague, began looking at what he calls the situation in palestine. in march of 2021. looking at incidence, both by israeli forces and by palestinian groups stating all the way back to 2014. but it was just last month that journalist groups brought evidence to the i. c. c for investigation, alleging that israeli forces were systematically targeting journalists. and

furthermore, that the israelis were not investigating those incidents properly. now, what they are alleging is that that amounts to a breach of international law and may even amount to a war crime. and the death, the killing of serene clay is now going to be at the forefront of that case what the palestinian authority wants and what the journalist groups is to add her to the existing names that are already listed in front of the i c. c. so that the people responsible for killing sheree and potentially are brought here to the have . now there is an issue in a sense that israel doesn't recognize the jurisdiction of the i c c. and also they will not cooperate with any investigation. but the fact is that if it is really official, or even a government minister has an arrest warrant issued against them by this court here, they will faith the risk of arrest in any one of more than 120 i. c c members. and

that could mean senior israeli officials coming here to the hague, not as visitors, but as defendants as look at some other stories now and trying because president is expected to select a new cabinet after reappointing, a former leader of prime minister. when no work ro missing, i was sworn in on the 1st day. he's already been prime minister 5 times. the hands of roger pack, so resigned on monday to weeks of protest aimed at him and his brother, the president. people agree about the hunting of an historic economic crisis as care love to correspond. michelle fernandez. she's in colombo for us, and manila will the return of wick romancing a com protests as do people believe that he can steer the country out of this economic crisis. the answer to the 1st part of that question is that it's highly unlikely to appease protest says ronald vicar missing her,

who now basically will be the main occupant of the building behind me, the official residence of the prime minister of j longer or temple dream. he is somebody who basically lost his parliament seat at the last general elections. his party, the oldest party political party in sri lankan politics was thrown out of parliament under his watch. and for the people seeing this individual brought in as the prime minister, without even having the legitimacy of being represented in parliament, being selected by the people is an issue in terms of his ability to steer the country out of the doldrums economic crisis. it's amazing. he is someone who has been around who has a certain amount of credibility with the international community with lending institutions with less than government because. 9 he has engaged them over the

years during the various times that he served that he's headed government. so yesterday, the government of his vague, keen to announce that even the japanese government had made an indication that they would be helping sri lanka out after a run over committing his appointment. we also have the stock exchange creeped slightly up. but having said that, they're obviously 2 sides of this coin. one is the economic price as the other is the political $1.00 and for the credibility of the entire process of the government . we're waiting to hear rando vicar missing his cabinet, being sworn in to see what faces come in with him to take on this challenge that will be appoint her as well. but overall, if you talk to protest as just down road, gotta go village outside the president's office. most of them overwhelmingly have a view that this is not going to do that. they are going to keep soldiering on for

an entire clean sleep. and until then they're brought as we're continue. manella fernando is the very latest from colombo. thanks very much. michelle. members of the un security council, have urged the taliban to respect the rights of women and girls. afghan women have been ordered to cover up completely in public. the you k is ambassador to the un says it's critical to protect the gains made for women's rights over the past 2 decades. hard to see that the international community and importantly, the afghan people will ever respect the taliban as legitimate authorities. if this is the future for africa, stone that they pursue because half its population of women and girls who will not and should not have to accept to life banished to the sidelines. north korea says 6 people have died from what it's calling an exclusive spread of fever. the

handling of the virus was inapt. in march 2020 lucy esparza casarez got sick. she quickly recovered from the headache and chills, but soon her husband david was feeling very ill. coughing and unable to stand, he was rushed to hospital. lucy was not allowed to see her husband, and soon a nurse called to say, david was being put on a ventilator. she said, okay, so are we, we're, we're ready to do the procedure. so i'll let you talk to him one more time. so you know, it was like, ok, i love you. everything's going to be already said ok. i love you to. and that was the last conversation i had with him. david died from cove at 19 in early april in quick succession. lucy lost more members of her family, her sister in law, a nephew, and david's elderly mother whom she cared for. all of a sudden i was along. i'd never been alone in that house ever. by myself, with my daughter had me and my god in this house,

where everybody that lived here except me, died of coven, by then the pandemic was completely out of control in a new york hospital. 13 patients died in a single day. but the worst was yet to come. hospitals were overwhelmed. morgues ran out of space for the dead. the country shut down. why did the wealthiest most technologically advanced country on earth suffer such a staggering death toll? i think the jury is still out on exactly what caused so much that there is a recent study that came out that showed that about 40 percent of the deaths, half of the patients who died with coven and diabetes. by the time safe and effective vaccines became widely available, misinformation and conspiracy theories were circulating the parallel to their make of this information. this information has complicated matters tremendously, really, unnecessarily. former president trump downplayed the severity of the outbreak from

the beginning. the federal government left it up to each state to figure out for themselves how to find medical equipment and protective gear. the ineptness of it was, it was boggling, mind boggling. now, how did this happen in the united states of america? the virus took advantage of poverty, racial and economic inequities in american society. the coven death rates for blacks, and latinos have been twice that of whites. how will the pandemic evolve in the coming years? predicting the viruses behavior is notoriously difficult, but doctors are sure one thing cove it isn't finished with us yet, it's penetration has been such that it will be around us for forever. it's not going to go away. a 1000000 dead and counting rob reynolds al jazeera, los angeles, foreign ministers from the group of 7 industrialized countries are discussing
